Chapter 20 Worm Brain

These eggs are stuck to the inside of the skull cavity. They are gray in color and densely packed one by one. They look very disgusting when you look closely, just like bee eggs in a honeycomb.

The third uncle was not like ordinary people. He was not afraid at this time. Instead, he became more interested. He got up and took a closer look.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the insect eggs appeared vague and translucent. The third uncle touched them with a dagger. They were as hard as carapace and seemed to have dried completely.

What is this? He thought to himself, there are so many eggs in this thing's skull. Are these parasites?

It makes sense that there are parasites in ancient corpses. They are often found in ancient corpses in Loulan. However, parasites are usually found in the internal organs. How could eggs appear in the skull cavity? And it lays eggs all over the skull cavity. What kind of insect is this? It’s too powerful...

The third uncle was very lacking in scientific knowledge at that time. In terms of culture, most of them were things he learned from Wen Jin to keep up appearances. When it came to insects or ancient insects, the same images that appeared in his mind were caterpillars and the like. . He thought, and also deduced that when this kind of insect parasitizes, the host must be dead, otherwise the insect in the head will probably die of pain. These may be the eggs of scavenging insects.

This is a big discovery, Sanshu said to himself. He remembered what Wen Jin told him about the non-material value of archaeological discoveries. In archeology, if you discover ancient books or customs or tomb traces that have not been discovered by predecessors, it is a major discovery. Of course, this kind of discovery is nothing to Sanshu, but for the entire archaeological community, it means huge reputation and Status is something that is recorded in history.

He himself had no interest in this thing at all, but he was in love at the time and immediately thought of Wen Jin. He thought that if this thing was given to Wen Jin, the girl might find it useful and it was not valuable, so he put it here. It's no use either.

Thinking about it, he took out a cowhide bag. It was a bag used to salvage things when diving. There were holes at the bottom that could be plugged. When the water came out, the water would flow out. The third uncle closed the holes and took out the skull. , along with some other broken bones, were stuffed in, bulging, and carried on his back.

After finishing, he climbed out of the iron vat and went to find Ji Lianhuan. After being frightened twice, he was already hairy and his greed was gone. He didn't dare to touch the coffin anymore. This tomb was too damn evil. He didn't want to stay any longer. If the unchained items are finished shooting, they should exit immediately.

At this time, he also forgot to understand that there was not enough oxygen in the serial oxygen bottle. If he still remembered, he should know that it would be difficult to get out.

However, when he climbed out of the iron vat and returned to the bronze man's iron coffin, he immediately discovered something was wrong. First, he couldn't see the untying chain. He was not in his original position, and even after scanning with his flashlight, he couldn't find anything. , Xie Lianhuan's flashlight fell to the ground, shining brightly and dimly on the mural on one side.

The third uncle only froze for less than a second before sweating. He had seen this kind of scene too many times. In the ancient tomb, as soon as someone was in trouble, the flashlight would definitely fall to the ground. In the past, when he pinched the lama, he would fall There were too many people, so when he saw the flashlight falling on the ground, his heart tensed up.

Could it be that something happened to Jie Lianhuan when he went into the tank, and some mechanism was touched?

I didn't hear any noise just now, but I was in the tank and I really didn't pay attention to what was happening outside.

What is experience? This is experience. If it were me, I would definitely run over, pick up the flashlight, and bark a few times. However, Third Uncle has determined that something happened, although he doesn’t know what it is. He pulled out the dagger again and began to enter a state of mind. He walked towards the iron coffin to find where the link was.

He had not been in the iron coffin for long. If Jie Lianlian was hit, he would have fallen near the iron coffin.

He carefully but quickly walked around the iron coffin, and sure enough, he saw Xie Lianhuan fell behind the iron coffin, curled up into a ball, motionless. The third uncle shined a flashlight on his face, but there was no response. He scanned around again and found no foreign objects around.

Strange, there seemed to be no trace of the mechanism being touched, so why did he fall? The third uncle was a little surprised. After looking around and seeing that there was indeed no movement, he quickly stepped forward and helped the unchained ring up.

Xie Lianhuan had lost consciousness, he was dead, and his body was paralyzed. The third uncle put his hand on his neck and found that he was not dead. Then he touched several of his vitals and found that the back of his head was hot. He turned his hands and saw, It was all blood.

Hold! The third uncle was confused immediately. How could it be possible? This guy actually looked like he'd been knocked unconscious.

However, this is inside an ancient tomb. There is no mechanism in the ancient tomb that is designed to knock people out. Zongzi cannot be so kind as to just knock you out. The only one who can knock people out is one other person.

Thinking about it, the third uncle suddenly felt an extreme chill. He quickly turned around and looked at the darkness around him, thinking to himself, no way, is there anyone else here?
